Went to son's Dr. to get Rx for ADHD pills he is on. It requires a written prescription. Can't be called in/faxed. I had no more pills.The receptionist told me come back later in the week,that the Dr. would not stop to write a Rx. Was this wrong?

Doctors are really busy and a lot of them think their time is more important than yours. However you knew when your son would run out and should have contacted the office several days before he did run out. Those pills are strictly monitored and depending on the situation the patient will have to be seen every month or at least on a fairly consistent basis. It is sad that your son will suffer not having his meds because you didn't think far enough ahead to get them in time. Don't assume that the doctor will stop and write whatever you want when you want it. Lesson learned hopefully.

The doctor specifically told me to get the prescription written when my son's pills ran out. He said he could only write the prescription every 30 days.

Also, my son didn't miss a dose. I got the medicine the next day.

Here's the full story. I was told by the Dr.to specifically come to his office every 30 days or when my son had an appointment. He said he had lots of people calling in/showing up early to get this Rx and that he would not do this.
Went to the office at the correct time, the recept. tells me the Dr. would not stop to write the Rx. I did not expect the Dr. to drop everything and write a Rx, I told recept. I was willing to wait.
The Dr. is 20 miles away from me. I can't easily get there any day I want to because during the day, I depend on my father-in-law for rides.
The next day, I was lucky to be able to find another way back to the office. When I got there, they had the Rx ready. I looked it over,it was dated for 2 days before, which meant that it had been in my son's file the day I was there.
I blame the recept., not the Dr. It was two 40 mile round trips because she didn't do her job!
